republican senator john mccain joins me now live from capitol hill. senator, thanks so much for being here. what do you make of the white house's response that they need to gather more evidence before they make a determination and consult with our allies and the syrian opposition on the next move? >> well, i make a disappointment but not surprise. the president has not wanted to engage in syria in any way, any meaningful way, for a couple years, while 70,000 to 80,000 people have been slaughtered, so i'm not too surprised, but the fact is the british and the french and the israeli intelligence agencies have all concluded that bashir assad used these chemical weapons and so i'm disappointed. we need to give them a safe zone. we need to supply them with weapons going to the right people. we need to be prepared to secure these caches of chemical weapons in the event bashir uses them or after he falls it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. >> president obama is at the bush library today paying homage to president bush, but there is in his white house staff
